I agree with keeping the fork and knife in each hand at all times but putting the food on the backside of the fork makes no sense, that completely defeats the purpose and design of the fork.

Sorry, I’m really confused. The four goes on the left. I was raised to pick the fork up in my left hand the knife in the right to cut it and then place the knife from the plate. You’re referring to the fork being in the dominant hand??

You’re assuming our left hand is our dominant.

I think her camera has made it back to front. Definitely left for fork. Right for knife.

Thank you Carla. I was taught to use the fork with the left hand and use the knife in the right (dominant) hand to cut the food. Then lay the knife down switched the fork to the right hand to pick up the food.

instead of using knife and fork use your fingers to eat for taste and feel full.

The knife blade should face the center of the plate when not in use.

What is the point here! People in different parts of the world differs in a variety of ways. As long as their way of eating such ss munching and chewing do not disturb a person dining nearby let them enjoy their food in their own way.Right!?!

I do things in my own way, which is comfortable for me and does not disturb others.

The fork should be in your left hand, and the knife, in your right hand.

Then why does the fork have tines on it. I was born in the UK and I’ve never shoved my food up my fork.

What if you only have a fork and you have to scoop things up, in a spoon motion or else it will fall off the back of the fork

user40836313806320 :
Sorry I am right handed and use my right hand to eat with my fork, and I do use my right hand to use the knife. I have tried the European way and an upside down fork doesn’t work for me plus I just don’t use my left hand at all to eat with or cut with.

You put the knife on the plate with the blade towards the rim edge. It should be towards the middle of the plate!
